The salaries for the cast of The Traitors<\/a> season three have been revealed, and if anything all it proves is that they most certainly didn’t need any of the prize money.<\/p>\n

For those that won season three of the show, they had to split $204,000 between the four of them before choosing what to spend their prize money on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, each of the winners ended up with about $51,000 before tax, which whilst still a very generous amount is considerably lower than other reality TV shows.<\/p>\n

Shows such as Survivor offer a one million dollar prize, whilst Deal or No Deal Island could land contestants a whopping five million, but as all the celebrities on The Traitors are all pretty loaded already I don’t feel too bad for them.<\/p>\n

However, as it turns out they also got paid a hefty salary to appear on The Traitors at all, and the US Sun<\/a> revealed how much they could have been given for their presence.<\/p>\n

According to a production source, the contestants are paid a \u201cone-time appearance fee\u201d that is \u201csignificantly higher\u201d than the pay CBS, MTV and other networks give the players.<\/p>\n

They revealed: “The gamers are Peacock’s number one priority and they build the season around getting the best gamers first, and cast everyone else around that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe top gamers, like Parvarti, Boston Rob, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Dan Gheesling and Wes Bergmann get paid the most.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir appearance fee is around $200k but depending on their contract and popularity, someone like Boston Rob will get as much as $300k. Lesser-known players still get paid well, they’ll get roughly $75-100k.”<\/p>\n

The source continued: “The contestants don’t even really care about the money from the prize pot, it’s more about bragging rights and all the opportunities that come with winning the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch as NBCUni booking them for appearances on other shows and events. They get treated like royalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cNBCUni spoils them way more than the other networks. They always fly the contestants first class which the other shows do not do.<\/p>\n

“Once you get a taste of that Peacock money and treatment, it’s hard to want to go on any other network.”<\/p>\n

Well, now I’m thinking none of them really needed that prize money after all then!<\/p>\n
